Extremly rare Star Wars toy for trade
 
So, are there any Star Wars hardcore collectors here on drome?
If the answer is YES that's great because I have a very, very, very
rare toy for trade. That's Ewok Wicket from the polish bootleg serie from
the 80s. I was told that this little fellow here is one of the rarest
Star Wars toys ever released (at list in bootleg category) and it is
highly demanden amongst the SW fans. It is also worth a lot of money I
was told. So, here he is if you want. That's the real photo made by
me two hours ago. I want to trade this little guy for something TMNT
related with equal value of course. I am waiting for offers.
I will ship to US and other countries as well.

Oh, and in this thread there's a list of toy that I am missing in my collection :)

I also don't have Scratch, Hot Spot and NECA's ;)

Not sure how terribly popular these actually are. Only say that that because when I google "Polish Bootleg Wicket" the second thing to pop up is...this thread.

But good luck all the same!

It just strikes me like you're trying to talk it up so that you can get something that's actually worth something in exchange for it.

Let me think...hmm maybe because I have something that's actually worth something for trade?

Maybe you should check the prices of this stuff before beeing strike by anything.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from...bootleg&_sop=3

http://forum.rebelscum.com/t1086784/

800 USD for set of 3? Let me think. It gives you how much? more then 250$ a piece?

http://allegro.pl/figurka-star-wars-...232542535.html

Final auction price 335,15 zł = 100$

And this: "I also don't have Scratch, Hot Spot and NECA's;)" was just a joke, that's why there's emoticon there ;)

So I do happen to know a decent amount about Star Wars vintage bootlegs, though I must admit I dont know exactly how much your Wicket is worth.

This site is great for giving you some details about polish bootlegs, but its not going to help you to come to a price: http://www.starwarsy.pl/opowiadania/podroby_eng.htm

Also, notice on the ebay page you listed that they are all "Buy it now" or "Best offer". Star wars Bootleg collecting is a pretty niche group, theres not a huge demand for em. Im not saying your guy isnt worth as much as your saying, Im just saying this may not be the place to get all its worth. I have seen a Hungarian window display set go for $5,000 before!

VADER2013 07-08-2013 06:30 PM

I thought it would be a 21 back boba fett, tie bomber, or yak face. Bootlegs might be a tough sell.

Yes I agree :)
The idea was that I DON'T WANT TO SELL IT :)
I just thought that it would be nice to give somebody something
rare that one may need (I don't collect SW) and get some TMNT in return.
It works both ways. Someone gets something hard to find in US and I get
something hard to find in PL. Simple :)

Well, I wish I could help ya. But I dont have any really valuable/ rare tmnt items (not for lack of desire tho). I had to settle for NECA bootlegs cause i missed the bus on that one. Best of luck my friend!

I'm a tad familiar with these. Problem is, you have to find the right crowd who go after bootlegs. Me personally, think the polish figures are pretty cool, many different variants/colors, such as the pink Boba. I wouldn't say they are rarer than....say the Lili Ledy figures. There's some big time money In Star Wars figures. Find a MOC 12back DT Luke or even a MOC 12back Vinyl Cape Jawa, were talking thousands. Try rebelscum, I'm sure someone will want it, good luck with the sale

***First of Two Latin Kings*** 07-09-2013 04:53 PM

All of the bootlegs you posted in your first link are listed BIN or best offer, so those don't really count or mean ANYTHING... people jack up the prices of items on eBay ALL THE TIME because they're hoping someone who is confused will come along to get ripped off.

I can only imagine what you're going to demand in return for that Wicket.

SOLD listings:

COMPLETED listings:

Better?

Also what's the point of you arguing with me in my own thread?
If you are not interessed in trading then what's the point of you
trying to prove that something is or isn't worth this and that?
One mans garbage is another man treasure you know.
So the item is worth exactly so much that somebody is willing to pay.

I am not a king to demand anything from anybody.
I was only offering a fair TRADE, I am not trying to sell this toy alright?
And if you think that it is not fair to FOR EXAMPLE ask for 10 tmnt toys
that a regular US citizen can easilly buy loose paying 3$ a piece and he
will in return get something really hard to find on US market then I don't
know. So, AM I DEMANDING TO MUCH in your enlightened opinion?

Cool toys dude...

VADER2013 07-09-2013 07:39 PM

hey turtle collector, have you tried a Star Wars collector site? I didn't read every post, but that might be the niche you are looking for. I collect Star Wars vintage items, but I don't know much about the bootleg figures. Its similar to going on a SW site and trying to sell or trade a rare turtle.
I don't doubt the value, I just think its the wrong crowd.

Hi :)

Yes i know. I will go on SW site eventually.
I just thought that it could be nice to ask on drome first becasue
people often collect more then one brand, me for example TMNT
and Ghostbusters. That's why I asked here in the first place. I know
that I will easilly find somebody on rebelscum or similar site who will want
the toy. But i thought about drome because you know, it cost me nothing
to ask and there was a chance of hardcore SW fans here right? :)

He is :D

Also admin can close the thread now or delete it.
There was no one who wanted to trade for TMNT so
I just listed him on auction website.
Toy has been sold for 100$ to a Canadian buyer:
